Victoria
Diving in Wilsons Promontory
The Prom is Victoria's wildest and clearest diving: granite pinnacles, walls and boulder fields around the Glennie and Anser groups and Skull Rock, deep wrecks like the SS Kanowna (115 m) and the Cape Liptrap sites, and water that can hit 30 m visibility. Fur seals at Kanowna Island and Norman Island add company.

How do I choose a dive in Wilsons Promontory?
Begin with the individual site and its source notes, then discuss the proposed trip with a local provider. The 35 published records are research options, not a list of trips available today. Match the plan to your training, recent experience and the operator’s current requirements.
When should I visit Wilsons Promontory for diving?
Choose dates with a provider who runs the activity you want, then discuss seasonal patterns, recent conditions and alternative itineraries. A generic best-month claim cannot establish the conditions at your exact site or guarantee a wildlife encounter.
Can I use these maps to enter or navigate a dive site?
No. Recorded and approximate map positions support orientation only. Confirm the exact access, permissions, meeting point and route with the responsible local provider or manager.
